The Laws Have Changed Lyrics

New Pornographers - The Laws Have Changed
Intro: E
It was crime at the time but the laws, we changed 'em
Though the hero for hire's forever the same one
Introducing for the first time, Pharaoh on the microphone
Sing all- hail, what will be revealed today, when we peer to the great unknown
from the line the the thrown?
Awakened to cheers after years on the faultline,
We are shocked to be here in the face of the meantime.
Pharaoh all your methods have taught me is to separate my birth from bone
It will all- fail, feeling what I feel today, when we peer to the great unknown
from the line to the thrown.
((Na na na na na na)...form a line through here(x2) (Na na na na na na na na)
Form a line to the throne (x2)) x2
Alone in the chain it remains to be seen how
how well you play when the pawn takes a queen now
Introducing for the first time, Pharaoh on the microphone
Repeat Pre-chorus 1 (x2)
Repeat Chorus 1 (x2)
Outro verse
It was crime at the time but the laws have changed, yeah! (x2)
